8/28
Would I could opt
for a more labile reality...
e.g.
...an archly sensitive laugh track
...subtitles noting the inner monologues
of passing strangers
...an arresting crawl of  dadaist headlines
along my vision's periphery
...pop-ups of emergent ironies
...visually graphic onomatopoeia

The talking unicorns
& time traveling jetpacks
don't tempt me
like life lived like
the tropes on T.V.
